Howard County 4-H

09/01/2026

September is here and as we prepare to round out the 4-H Year, we need you to help us to help you! Club Leaders are asked to complete the LG760 Youth Services to Communities Form/Survey to help us in capturing the efforts and impacts of their club's members and volunteers. This information can also be shared with stakeholders and supporters to help them to see the impact 4-H makes in their communities.

Club Leader's please submit the information for your club by September 30th using the link below and your club will also be awarded a community service seal for your efforts for the 2025-2026 4-H Year!

Howard County 4-H members!!!

Looking for a little motivation to complete your Missouri Recognition Form?
For several years now, the Northeast Region has offered partial scholarships for Teen Conference and State Congress. Beginning this 4-H year, members in each county will only be eligible to be considered for these scholarships if the have completed and submitted a Missouri Recognition Form in their county the fall before.

So, if you haven't started your Missouri Recognition Form yet and would find a partial scholarship to Teen Conference or State Congress useful, what are you waiting for?
